Sign the petition: The FTC was looking into Tesla and X, now DOGE is coming after the agency

TELL CONGRESS: Musk's DOGE is setting up shop at the Federal Trade Commission — the first step Musk's minions take before gutting a federal agency. If Musk hobbles the FTC, billionaires and big corporations will win while workers and consumers suffer. Sign the petition: Stop Musk from destroying the FTC! ADD YOUR NAME Harris, Elon Musk's DOGE (Department of Government Efficiency) has set up offices at the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) — the first step DOGE takes before firing workers, undoing services, and gutting agencies.1 DOGE is going after agencies that have investigated Musk's companies, so it's no surprise that the FTC — which scrutinized Tesla and X in recent years — is now a DOGE target. This is the kind of obvious conflict of interest and corruption that is central to Musk's role in the Trump admin. While the FTC fights corporate power in order to protect consumers and workers, Musk and Trump are trying to weaken regulations on mega-corporations and billionaire CEOs. Congress must stand up for the people and protect the FTC. Sign the petition: Don't let Musk destroy the FTC and give more power to big corporations. ADD YOUR NAME "DOGE is yet again raiding a federal watchdog tasked with protecting working Americans from Wall Street and Big Tech," said Emily Peterson-Cassin, the Corporate Power Director here at Demand Progress. "Corporations get let off the hook, Musk gets insider information, and the American people get hosed."2 Without a strong and stable FTC, Musk, his businesses, and other corporations can grow even more powerful, take advantage of consumers, and cheat workers. Congress must take its power back and protect the American people from Trump, Musk, and DOGE before there's nothing left. Add your name: Stop Musk's insidious power grab and protect the FTC!
